MediqAid’s mis­sion is to com­modi­tise Health Care Diag­noses and in time pro­vide assis­tance in choos­ing the best avail­able treat­ment. Deploy­ing a cit­i­zen to cit­i­zen approach, where mem­bers of the MediqAid com­mu­nity can assist oth­ers and him/​herself in deter­min­ing the best expla­na­tion of one’s med­ical pain or needs, the pre-​diagnosis instru­ment will learn from the large vari­ety of cases and thus becomes the per­fect assis­tant to guide a cit­i­zen towards the best fit­ting expla­na­tion. Med­ical spe­cial­ists can use MediqAid’s ser­vices to swiftly deter­mine which treat­ment fits best a par­tic­u­lar cit­i­zen and then address the cit­i­zen with a treat­ment path.

This startup fur­ther aims to solve the prob­lem of cit­i­zens that find them­selves in an urgent state of med­ical need, whilst not being able to share their per­sonal & med­ical details.

MediqAid will pro­vide the aid worker with all nec­es­sary details to iden­tify the patient, and gives con­trolled access to the patients’ med­ical record and ICE-​information to assist to swift and cor­rect diag­noses, assur­ing opti­mal med­ical assis­tance. It can also trig­ger the call for pro­fes­sional assis­tance and assist in inform­ing next of kin using infor­ma­tion from the In Case of Emer­gency (ICE) records.

MediqAid aims to deploy NFC tech­nol­ogy. Each NFC based iden­ti­fier, the so called MediqID, will con­tain basic med­ical infor­ma­tion, plus point­ers to a secure pri­vacy enhanced cloud­based data­s­tore. The MediqID will have mul­ti­ple phys­i­cal man­i­fes­ta­tions suit­able to the needs of the com­mu­nity. For this to work you and I should be mem­ber of the world­wide MediqAid Com­mu­nity. Each indi­vid­ual should deploy at least one MediqAid sticker/​bracelet, and keep it close to their body.

We will pro­vide a mobile smart­phone applet for any­one via which the med­ical details of the patient can be accessed, at all times respect­ing the pri­vacy constraints.
